Chiefs utility back Gareth Anscombe could be leaving the Hamilton-based franchise at the end of the season.

Heis weighing up his options after Wales national coach Warren Gatland expressed interest in securing his services ahead of next year's World Cup. Anscombe qualifies to play for Wales through his mother.

Chiefs head coach Dave Rennie has indicated that Anscombe is yet to sign a new contract with the two-time Super Rugby champions.

"He hasn't put ink to anything," Rennie told Newstalk ZB.

There's been a lot of talk about that for months so we'll let him confirm that when it happens."
